1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. 6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. 8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. 10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. 12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. 13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
Septītais zīmogs un zelta kvēpināmais trauks
1 Un, kad Jērs atvēra septīto zīmogu, iestājās klusums uz kādu pusstundu. 2 Es ieraudzīju septiņus eņģeļus, kas stāvēja Dieva priekšā, un viņiem tika iedotas septiņas taures. 3 Tad ienāca kāds cits eņģelis un nostājās pie altāra; viņš turēja zelta kvēpināmo trauku, un viņam tika dots daudz kvēpināmo smaržzāļu, lai līdz ar visu svēto lūgšanām tās noliktu uz zelta altāra troņa priekšā. 4 Un kvēpināmā smarža no eņģeļa rokām līdz ar visu svēto lūgšanām pacēlās pie Dieva. 5 Eņģelis ņēma kvēpināmo trauku, piepildīja to ar uguni no altāra un lēja uz zemi – sākās pērkoni, balsis, zibeņi un zemestrīce.
Taures
6 Un septiņi eņģeļi ar septiņām taurēm jau bija gatavi, lai sāktu taurēt. 7 Kad atskanēja pirmā eņģeļa taure, krusa un uguns sajaucās ar asinīm un triecās pret zemi; trešdaļa zemes sadega, un trešdaļa koku sadega, un visa zaļā zāle sadega. 8 Kad atskanēja otrā eņģeļa taure, milzīgs itin kā ugunī degošs kalns tika nosviests jūrā, un trešdaļa jūras pārvērtās par asinīm, 9 un trešdaļa dzīvo radību nobeidzās, un trešdaļa kuģu tika sadragāti. 10 Kad atskanēja trešā eņģeļa taure, no debesīm nokrita milzīga zvaigzne, kas dega kā lāpa, un tā nokrita uz trešo daļu upju un ūdens strautu. 11 Tās zvaigznes vārds ir Vērmele, un trešdaļa ūdeņu pārvērtās par vērmelēm, un daudz cilvēku nomira no šiem ūdeņiem, jo tie bija tapuši rūgti. 12 Kad atskanēja ceturtā eņģeļa taure, nāca trieciens pār trešdaļu saules un trešdaļu mēness, un trešdaļu zvaigžņu, un trešā daļa no tiem kļuva tumša, un dienas trešā daļa zaudēja savu gaismu un tāpat arī nakts. 13 Tad es ieraudzīju un dzirdēju, kā viens ērglis, lidojot augstu debesīs, sauc skaļā balsī: vai! vai! vai! zemes iedzīvotājiem, kad atskanēs vēl pārējo trīs eņģeļu tauru skaņas!
